The NAOMI (New Arcade Operation Machine Idea) is also Japanese for beauty above all else.
Main Ram : 32 megs
CPU : Hitachi SH-4 32-bit RISC CPU (200 MHz 360 MIPS / 1.4 GFLOPS)
Graphic Engine : PowerVR (PVR2DC)
Sound Engine : ARM7 Yamaha AICA 45 MHZ (with internal 32-bit RISC CPU, 64 channel ADPCM)
Main Memory : 32 MByte
Graphic Memory : 16 MByte
Sound Memory : 8 MByte
Media : ROM Board (The Namco Naomi carts are custom and have massive high density ROMs on them. 23x 128MBit smt MASK ROMs and 4x 64MBit Flash EEPROMs for a maximum capacity of 3200MBits. The Namco cart is single sided only (i.e. no roms underneath it) / GD-Rom
Simultaneous Number of Colors : Approx. 16,770,000 (24bits)
Polygons : 2.5 Million polys/sec
Rendering Speed : 500 M pixel/sec
Additional Features : Bump Mapping, Fog, Alpha-Bending (transparency), Mip Mapping (polygon-texture auto switch), Tri-Linear Filtering, Anti-Aliasing, Environment Mapping, and Specular Effect.
Notes : Notice that Naomi has twice the amount of main memory and graphics memory that Dreamcast has, so ports from Naomi to Dreamcast may involve more conversion time. Also note that the Naomi board has four times the sound memory of the Dreamcast, and the reason for this is because the Naomi board is'nt meant to spool redbook audio from the GD-ROM drive.
The Naomi architecture is very flexible in that a cabinet can have anywhere from 1 to 16 boards. A multi board system would operate in parallel increasing the power of the system tremendously! Theoritically a 16 board Naomi system could do (16 x 3.5 mpps) = 56 million polygons per second maximum! Realistically it would most likely be around 20 to 30 mpps. Then of course there is also the issue of the CPU being capable of driving all of this hardware.
Namco used the Naomi technology as a stop gap before introducing their own Playstation 2 based System 246 Hardware platform.System Pictures : Motherboard Top (large) - Motherboard Bottom(large) - Sockets - Full System - Naomi Case

Notes : Joint venture between Capcom and Namco, uses a control system similar to Gunman Wars, where you move the gun to move your player in a first person shooter type game similar to Quake, but not similar in that its terrible.
